Creationist Carl Kerby insists dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark: They took the younger ones

One
of the founding border members of the Creationist organization Answers
in Genesis believes that dinosaurs accompanied Noah on his Ark as the
entire world was flooded by God.

Speaking to Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association on
Thursday, Carl Kerby insisted it wasn’t infeasible for the giant
reptilian creatures to have been on Noah’s Ark.

The self-described “creation scientist” said he had debunked the
notion that two of every animal could not have possibly fit on Noah’s
Ark. The Bible states that the boat was about 450 feet long, 75 feet
wide and 50 feet high, Kerby explained.

“I see some people that like to mock and ridicule, especially
about the dinosaurs, how did they put the big old dinosaurs on there?”
he said. “Well, I would suggest to you they didn’t take the big old
dinosaur — they would have taken the younger ones. You think of a guy
like me, if you’re going to go repopulate a planet, you’re not taking me
with you. I’m old. My repopulating days are done. You take my son or my
grandson. My grandson is a whole lot smaller than I am.”

Creationists believe that the Flood began approximately 4,359 years ago. Scientists have found that dinosaurs went extinct by the end of the Cretaceous Period about 65 million years ago.
